My name is Heather.  I recently registered for the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk.  Fortunately, nobody in my immediate family has been afflicted with this disease (god willing, it remains that way).  My grandmother lost her sister and my best friend lost her aunt to breast cancer.  My aunt had a recent scare with a lump that, thankfully, turned out to be fibroid in nature.

I am 35, never had kids, and about 80 lbs overweight.  All of which puts me at greater risk of developing breast cancer in my lifetime.

All of these things have moved me to undertake the challenge of walking the 60 miles.  I do it for myself.  I do it for all of the women I know (and even those I don't know). 

I came across this website while doing a search on general breast cancer topics.  Each story that I read will be an additional motivation for me to keep up with my training.

God bless you all.

Heather
